How many people die because of global warming?

Answer 1

I am going to answer this question for you but you may not like what I am going to say. First there is no such thing as Global Warming. Yes the earth is under a warming cycle but it is not the work of man. We are in a closer orbit to the sun and that is it. I haven't seen any definitive evidence to support those conclusions. As you know the earth was in an Ice Age killing off the Dinasour and other prehistoric reptiles. It may surprise you to know that most of the monitoring stations are in the wrong location anyway. Some are positioned next to air and heating units, while some are located over concrete surfaces which will give a higher temperature reading. Te there are areas that have warmed in recent years but I would not be alarmed by the fact that there has been a two degree difference in a hundred years. Some climatologist would also suggest that even that is to the extreme and have suggested only a half a degree difference. Is that a sign of Global Warming, no absolutely not. Granted we have more industrialization than we did over a hundred years ago, after all the automobile has been around for approximately that period of time. Granted there is more concrete construction, (roads, parking facilities, buildings, and such) but that doesn't mean that man has done anything to promote heating or cooling of earths overall climate. Earth as long as it has existed has gone through these cycles, (heating and cooling) and it will continue to do so. It when through a volcanic period, where island chains were created as well as the creation of tectonic plates that rest under our crust. This was for the most part responsible for the formation of our continents. It will surprise you to know that the Atlantic Ocean is getting bigger and the Pacific Ocean is getting smaller by two inches a year. Now that is not much but the Atlantic trench is responsible for this. A prime example is in the tiny island country of Iceland. On the west side of Iceland it sits on the North American Plate and on the east side it sits on the European Plate and the Atlantic Trench has protruded out of the floor of the ocean and has essentially split Iceland in half. There are still volcanic eruptions every year that spew more carbon dioxide and sulfur than all the autos, trucks, industrial, and other pollutants have done combined. Just yesterday a small island south of Yemen erupted due to a volcano that had remained dormant for centuries. The United States for example has active and dormant volcanoes, a perfect case in point, recently Mt. St. Helen's in Washington State has seen some activity and the area around Yellowstone National Park has risen in recent years due to magma lying under the surface. Methane another so-called greenhouse gas is a naturally producing occurrence due to dying and rotting vegetation, insect, and animal life, and is also produced just under the earths crust off the east coast of the United States, in deep ocean trenches and off the coast of other countries as well. To your question, how many people die due to Global Warming, there is no such thing, people will be born, people will die, and the human race as we know it at this time is not under threat of extinction. These are scare tactics by people that have bought into the myth that is not based on pure scientific fact. And as far as someones "Carbon Footprint", I can say that the people that are "so-called" concerned about it still have their multi-room mansions and still fly in their private jets as well as are driven in their big SUV's and do not even practice what the preach. In closing, Global Warming, it is complete balderdash pure fiction. Case Closed End Of Story.

Answer 2

It's impossible to put an exact figure on it because there are people dying from all sorts of conditions that may or may not be caused by global warming.

Probably the most comprehensive, reliable and impartial source of such information is the World Health Organisation who have calculated that 150,000 excess deaths per year are directly attributable to global warming. Global warming could be a contributory factor in ten times this number of deaths. Additionally there are 10 million people infected each year through diseases that have spread into new areas as a consequence of global warming, particularly malaria.

All these figures are increasing and it's expcted that by 2030 they will have doubled and by the 2100 could have increased six-fold.

Answer 3

Global warming would cause the increase in mosquitoes, increasing rare diseases such as malaria. People will have to move out of cities like Shanghai and New York, which are next to the ocean. There are many other things that could happen to cause many deaths of people. The numbers won't matter if it were to happen, the thing would matter is how many people DON'T die...

Answer 4

people will be forced to relocate due to changes in sea level (probably not as drastic as "an inconvenient truth") relocating them will put a strain on poor countries and their neighbours, which in the past has caused more conflicts just based on economic diparities and abstract ratios of quality of life between borders. also vector borne diseases like malaria will increase because of higher temperatures(will increase length of mosquito mating season) and more precipitation mixed with urbanization(creates small water holes and pools for breeding).

Answer 5

pick a number

that's what the "experts" do.

if it doesn't get you enough attention, revise it to a bigger number.

pretty soon you'll get good at it and can start guessing what the weather will be like in 20 years.

then you can call yourself a modern scientist.

Answer 6

the official figure is 150.000 annually ,and this is expected to double soon.
a few years ago it was 3500 in Europe alone during intense heat waves
Usually the old and sick get hit first.
In Chiapas in Mexico people died of the cold ,but same original reasons

Answer 7

None. It's been proven wrong.

Answer 8

None.

Answer 9

absolutely none.
